The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 328 Guiyuan Sect 27

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Cheng Jiu had just returned to Canglan Peak when he heard his master's angry rebuke. What had happened?

Cheng Jiu walked towards Qingxu Palace out of curiosity.

Before Qingxu Palace, a man in blue robes was seen clinging to Qingxu Immortal Lord's leg in a very unladylike manner: "Senior brother, senior brother! Only you can help me!"

The man in blue robes was someone Cheng Jiu had never seen before, but she sensed a very similar aura emanating from him. He was a powerful figure with a wood elemental root, but his path was likely different from hers.

Cultivators with similar spiritual roots, especially high-level cultivators, will naturally develop a favorable impression of each other.

Although Qingxu Immortal Lord despised the person clinging to him, he didn't actually try to shake them off.

It's less about dislike and more about helplessness towards loved ones.

This guy is already a Tribulation Transcending Venerable, yet he's still as childish as before after taking on a disciple.

"Senior brother, please help me, please help me!"

Sensing that Immortal Lord Qingxu's attitude had softened, the man in blue pressed his advantage, saying, "That is my only disciple. As his master, I can't be inferior to others. Only you, Senior Brother, can forge a ninth-grade spiritual weapon that can be used even by a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"Let go! Let go of me! You're a teacher now, how can you be so childish!"

Over the years, you've gone out to gain experience but haven't sent back many messages. You haven't even mentioned taking on disciples, and you didn't attend my Mahayana ceremony.

As a result, the first time he came back to the sect, he asked me to refine weapons!

"Xuanzhen, when are you going to have any shame?!"

Immortal Lord Qingxu coldly rebuked the guy who was clinging to his leg.

When did he give this guy the wrong impression that he was easy to talk to?

"Your apprentice is still here!"

"That's my daughter! Daughter, come and greet Master Qingxu!" Venerable Xuanzhen exclaimed proudly.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Qingxu!" The girl's voice was sweet and obedient, her dark eyes glistening as she looked at the person in front of her, like a little deer in the forest, docile and harmless.

"When did you get married and have children? Where are your sister-in-law? You didn't even tell me you were together!" Immortal Lord Qingxu stared wide-eyed at the shameless guy who had just returned.

He thought it was the other party's apprentice, but it turned out to be such a huge bombshell.

"You come in here and have a proper talk with me!"

Immortal Lord Qingxu possessed astonishing strength. Upon hearing Immortal Lord Qingxu's words, the man in blue sensed something was wrong and struggled desperately, pleading for mercy repeatedly: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I was wrong! Senior Brother Qingxu, please let me explain!"

Then, without any resistance, they were dragged away!

Cheng Jiu stared in disbelief, listening with great interest. This person must have a very close relationship with her master!

Her master wasn't the type to care about other people's private affairs.

The little girl also noticed Cheng Jiu approaching from the side, and asked in a soft, gentle voice, "Are you a disciple of Master Qingxu?"

"Hmm!" Cheng Jiu had a good impression of the girl, but unfortunately she felt she couldn't get along with her.

With a father like that, how could the daughter be so well-behaved!

"I, my name is Yuan Ning, you can also call me Yuan Niang," the girl said softly, but her eyes held an undisguised expectation.

The older sister in front of her was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, and also the disciple of her father's close senior brother. Yuan Ning naturally felt very close to Cheng Jiu and had a good impression of her.

"My name is Cheng Jiu, you can call me Senior Sister Xiao Jiu!" Hearing the little girl's obedient voice, Cheng Jiu instantly overturned her previous thoughts. Such a well-behaved and obedient little girl, she's definitely one of us!

"Senior Sister Jiu!"

"Hey!" Cheng Jiu smiled and touched the little girl's soft hand. The hand was fragrant and soft, and his movements were like those of a pervert.

The little girl didn't dislike Cheng Jiu's affectionate actions; on the contrary, she liked them very much. Although she was a little shy, she let Cheng Jiu do as he pleased.

"Yuan Niang? You come from the mortal realm?"

Such a title is not common in the cultivation world; titles like Yuan Niang are more prevalent in the mortal world.

Yuan Ning nodded.

Cheng Jiu was a little puzzled. So, that meant that his senior uncle had been in the mortal realm all these years?

What's so good about the mortal realm?

For cultivators, it was a barren, spiritless land. Could it be that he was there to accompany his beloved wife?

And that senior uncle is already at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so how could he have any connection with a mortal woman?

You can't just go to the mortal world to find a romantic partner, can you?

Cheng Jiu couldn't understand this person's thoughts, unless Yuan Ning's mother was a cultivator from the mortal realm.

However, judging from Yuan Ning's appearance, she doesn't seem to have been born in the cultivation world. She must have received a long period of environmental influence and education.

Especially those hands, they're so soft!

It's not that a woman's hands can't be this soft.

From Cheng Jiu's perspective as a cultivator, although the young girl was at the Foundation Establishment stage, her hands were too soft and weak, as if she had never exercised and was just a beautiful shell with cultivation.

This is abnormal, especially since she has a father who is in the tribulation stage.

The little girl is not young anymore, she's twelve years old!

Comparing her to Cheng Jiu back then, although she wasn't valued in the Luo family, she still underwent the necessary physical and mental training.

Not to mention the buckets of medicinal broth used to strengthen muscles and bones after he became a disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu.

The little girl has never accepted it at all!

All of these are unreasonable.

Cheng Jiu was really curious about the inside story!

The little girl was well-behaved and innocent, and had no defenses against Cheng Jiu. She only needed to ask him a few questions before she told him everything.

The little girl did receive a certain level of aristocratic education; before she was seven years old, she had never known that she had a father.

Why is there still some?

Of course, it's because Lord Xuanzhen isn't her biological father!

Cheng Jiu nodded. That's right. If Xuanzhen Venerable Lord really is this person's biological father, then that's just too unreliable. Cheng Jiu would probably have to be more cautious about his impression of Xuanzhen Venerable Lord.

Yuan Ning's father was a great general of the Wei Dynasty. When he was young, he came to the cultivation world to gain experience and helped the Xuanzhen Venerable, who was then a Dao Lord.

As for how a martial artist from the mortal realm helped a Dao-Merging Lord from the immortal cultivation world, Yuan Ning didn't know either. His father didn't mention it, nor did the Venerable Xuanzhen.

Anyway, the two hit it off immediately and became sworn brothers after only a few days of getting to know each other.

When Xuanzhen Venerable saw that his good brother had good talent, he offered to help him switch to cultivating immortality.

However, Yuan Ning's father refused.

On the one hand, he is getting old, and even if he changes his path, his achievements will not be very high.

On the other hand, the Yuan family had been loyal to the Wei dynasty for generations and had been granted imperial favor to guard the border.

Finally, there's the fact that he and Yuan Ning's mother were childhood sweethearts, and their wedding was imminent, so he couldn't bear to leave behind the people and affairs of the mortal world.

Naturally, one cannot irresponsibly retreat into the world of cultivation to pursue immortality.

Xuanzhen Venerable Lord was a very kind person. He didn't force anything and even made a unilateral agreement with this friend who was much older than him.

Anyway, he is devoted to the Dao and will not marry a Daoist partner. In the future, Yuan Ning's father's son will be his son, and Yuan Ning's father's daughter will be his daughter!

Regardless of whether Yuan Ning's father objected or not, he dragged her to drink a "betrothal" banquet.

The next day, he left gracefully, disappearing into some secret realm.

The two then parted ways.

Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable. Thirteen years ago, just as Yuan Ning's mother was pregnant with Yuan Ning, the Lin Dynasty launched a ruthless attack. No one expected this. Although they managed to stop the Lin Dynasty's attack in the rush, Yuan Ning's father was killed in battle!

Whether it was premeditated or not, just a few days after Yuan Ning's father died in battle, rumors suddenly spread in the capital of the Wei Dynasty that Yuan Ning's father had colluded with the Lin Dynasty and promised benefits, which led to this attack.

At first, the Wei dynasty royal family did not react to the rumors.

However, no compensation has been issued for Yuan Ning's father, and the royal family's wavering attitude has added ambiguity to this rumor.

Due to the legacy of the emperor, the Wei dynasty was basically reduced to a mere echo of the Lin dynasty.

It's unclear how the two dynasties negotiated, but in the end, the blame for the Lin dynasty's unjust attack was placed on Yuan Ning's father.

He was accused of treason, and his entire clan was exiled and their property confiscated.

It was only because the emperor of the Wei dynasty still had a conscience that he did not execute his entire family.

Yuan Ning's three older brothers disappeared during this exile.

Yuan Ning's mother's family still held some status in the Wei Dynasty. It was obvious that the Yuan family had been wronged, and I felt sorry for the son-in-law's family who had suffered an undeserved disaster.

She used forceful methods to help her daughter get a divorce, and then welcomed her pregnant daughter home.

Yuan Ning was born in her mother's family home. Her mother came from a family of civil officials, and Yuan Ning received a very good education.

Yuan Ning's maternal family doted on her, and she received treatment comparable to that of the eldest daughters of the household.

It's safe to say that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yuan Ning would likely have grown up in this environment, naturally getting married and having children.

Coincidentally, after Xuanzhen Venerable broke through his cultivation level, he wanted to visit this friend who was much older than him, and then he heard the tragic news of his friend's passing.

The three sons of the close friend, who was much older than him, were nowhere to be found, so the Venerable Xuanzhen came to see his last remaining daughter.

Since Yuan Ning's father died, Yuan Ning's mother's health has also deteriorated due to the great grief she has experienced.

Because of Yuan Ning's father, she had no good feelings towards the Wei Dynasty. Although she knew that her family would not mistreat Yuan Ning, she still wanted her daughter to have more freedom.

So when Lord Xuanzhen came and revealed his identity, Yuan Ningniang entrusted her daughter to Lord Xuanzhen without hesitation.

The joke that Venerable Xuanzhen made back then.

Yuan Ning's mother directly made her daughter recognize Xuanzhen Venerable Lord as her father.

In order to sever all ties with the Wei Dynasty and leave no lingering karma, Yuan Ning's mother gave Yuan Ning to Xuanzhen Venerable Lord for adoption.

Xuanzhen Venerable Lord said that Yuan Ning is his daughter, and Nuan Ning calls Xuanzhen Venerable Lord "Father," so there is no problem.

After listening to everything, Cheng Jiu said after a long pause, "Your mother and Lord Xuanzhen are truly people of strong character!"

Most people wouldn't do something like this.

"I miss my mother so much!" Yuan Ning said, tears welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't go back! Her mother had told her she wasn't allowed to go back!

Her only remaining relative is Lord Xuanzhen!

Cheng Jiu silently held the child. Yuan Ning's mother had placed all her dissatisfaction with the Wei Dynasty and her hopes for her daughter on Yuan Ning.

It wasn't that she didn't love Yuan Ning, but her love was mixed with too many complicated emotions, which led her to make such a resolute decision.

She could not sever ties with the Wei dynasty, but she hoped her daughter could.

After her husband's death, her aversion to her own upbringing made her unwilling to let her daughter repeat the same mistakes!

The Immortal Lord Qingxu, now in the hall, understood everything: "So you just agreed to her request and brought her daughter here?"

Lord Xuanzhen nodded, puzzled: "No, is that not allowed?"

"Did you ask the little girl's opinion?" Immortal Lord Qingxu laughed in anger: "Are you a child? Listen to what you did, is it right?"

The little girl doesn't understand anything now, but what about when she grows up?

Since you've accepted her as your apprentice, this young lady must be quite talented.

"How will she get through the long years to come!"

Immortal Lord Qingxu felt a throbbing pain in his forehead, but the little girl didn't seem to feel anything unusual at the moment.

That's because of the education she received from a young age and because she was still young, so she could only obey the orders of adults.

When she grows up and matures, this will be an insurmountable obstacle in her heart. That is her mother, her own mother. How can a little girl understand such a resolute decision?

Immortal Lord Qingxu felt that the little girl should not have been taken away from her mother.

In just a few decades, even though it's in the mortal realm, it's not like we couldn't afford the resources, so how did we end up in such an awkward situation?

Xuanzhen Venerable was so reprimanded by Qingxu Immortal Lord that he couldn't lift his head.

"I'm going to tell my martial uncle and show him what a stupid disciple you are!"

Seeing that he still didn't know what he had done wrong, Qingxu Immortal Lord laughed in exasperation.

If it weren't for the fact that his master and the other person's master were on good terms, he wouldn't want to deal with this idiot at all. He's already undergone tribulation, yet his mind is still so immature!

Back then, I thought he had a great mindset and that with a positive attitude he could go further. But looking back now, it seems he's just getting older without growing smarter.

"No, Senior Brother! I was wrong! I'll take Yuan Ning back to the mortal realm after we're in the Star Domain!"

Xuanzhen Venerable rushed forward, expertly grabbing the leg and admitting his mistake.

His master was good at everything, but he was extremely talkative and could talk for three hours straight without stopping, and he was the only one who truly enjoyed it.

His master had finally ascended to heaven and been freed, and Xuanzhen Venerable Lord had no desire to recall the past.

Immortal Lord Qingxu closed his eyes, recalling the entrustment his master, True Lord Xuanzhen, had made before his ascension, and regret welled up in his mouth.

Going out to gain experience is a good thing.

He's only been back in the clan for a few days and he already wants to be a father!

Even his own apprentice, Cheng Jiu, had never given him such a headache.

"Get up!"

"No, I won't!"

Xuanzhen Venerable refused to let go, for he had found his senior brother's lifeline. Absolutely not! Letting go would be disastrous for him! Thinking of the consequences, Xuanzhen Venerable trembled and held on even tighter!

He didn't want to hear his master's voice at all, not even a little bit!

Immortal Lord Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I won't tell your master!"

"Really?"

Xuanzhen Venerable looked up hesitantly, his expression filled with anticipation.

"real!"

Immortal Lord Qingxu gave a resolute answer.

Xuanzhen Venerable hesitated before letting go, and the next moment he was lifted up: "Let's go. It's been so many years since we last met. I wonder if your strength has increased. Senior brother, let me test you!"

Xuanzhen Venerable: "...!"

Cheng Jiu watched as his master carried Xuanzhen Zunjun towards the back mountain, and understood immediately.

The little girl was naive and inexperienced, so to avoid frightening her, they took her and headed in the opposite direction.

Xuanzhen Venerable Lord is a magical man who can provoke even the Immortal Lord Qingxu to take action.
